The positive parity scalar D$_{s0}^*$(2317) and axial-vector D$_{s1}^*$(2460) charmed strange mesons are generated by coupled-channel dynamics through the s-wave scattering of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar and vector D(D$_s$)-meson…
In analogy to the f_0(500), which appears as a $\pi \pi $ resonance in chiral unitary theory, and the f_0(980), which appears as a quasibound $K \bar K$ state, the extension of this approach to the charm sector also predicts a quasibound $D…
We study the dynamics of the the spin zero open charm and beauty mesons using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR), where we observe the important r\^ole of the chiral condensate <\bar \psi\psi> in the mass-splittings between the…
We study the renormalization of the properties of low lying charm and hidden charm scalar mesons in a nuclear medium, concretely of the D_{s0}(2317) and the theoretical hidden charm state X(3700). We find that for the D_{s0}(2317), with…
We present highly excited spectra of charmonium, charm-light and charm-strange mesons using the dynamical anisotropic lattices of the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. The use of novel techniques has allowed us to extract these spectra with a…
We study charm-strange mesons, or $D_s$, $D_s^*$, $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, and $D_{s1}(2460)$ mesons by focusing on their production by coalescence from a quark-gluon plasma in relativistic heavy ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV.…
The experimental status of the recently observed resonances which could be interpreted as c$\bar q$ mesons with s$_l^P={1/2}^+$ is reviewed. In the framework of HQET and chiral perturbation theory, strong and radiative widths of these…
The study on the charmed scalar meson spectroscopy has become a hot topic both experimentally and theoretically. The $B_{(s)}$ decays provide an ideal place to study their property. We employ the $B$-meson light-cone sum rules to compute…

I present results of a heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory analysis of the decays and masses of the recently discovered excited charm mesons. The present data on the electromagnetic branching ratios are consistent with heavy quark…
Recently LHCb predicted spin 1 and spin 3 states D* s1(2860) and D* s3(2860) which are studied through their strong decays, and are assigned to fit the 13D1and 13D3 states in the charm spectroscopy. In this paper,using the heavy quark…
The CLEO collaboration proposes to explore the charm sector starting early 2003. It is foreseen to collect on the order of 6 million D D-bar pairs, 300000 Ds Ds-bar pairs at threshold and one billion J/psi decays. High precision charm data…
Despite the apparent simplicity of meson spectroscopy there are some states which cannot be accommodated in the usual $q\bar q$ structure. Among them there are either exotic states as the X(1600) or the recently measured charm states…
We probe the inner structure of the meson $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ through the decays of $B_{(s)}$ to two charmed mesons within pQCD approach. Assuming $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ as a scalar meson with $\bar cs$ structure, we find that the predictions for…
We evaluate the masses and decay constants of the $0^+$ and $1^-$ open-charm $(\bar{c}\bar{d})(us)$ tetraquarks and molecular states from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) by using QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR). This method takes into account the…
